One step closer to being able to do basic operations without needing third party tooling!

```

* Test that authentication is now enabled
```
curl 'http://localhost:9200/' # This one will fail
curl -u elastic:changeme 'http://localhost:9200/'
```
* Install some test data to play around with
```
wget https://download.elastic.co/demos/kibana/gettingstarted/logs.jsonl.gz && gunzip logs.jsonl.gz && curl -u elastic:changeme -H 'Content-Type: application/x-ndjson' -XPOST 'localhost:9200/_bulk?pretty' --data-binary @logs.jsonl
curl -k 'https://localhost:9200/' # This one will fail
curl -k -u $ELASTIC_USERNAME:$ELASTIC_PASSWORD https://localhost:9200/
```
